All I know is when I eat commercial break I itch like crazy and need to take a benedryl

I have no idea if it is gluten or the RoundUp they are spraying on wheat or what...

Pasta I get from Italy (no Roundup used) does not seem to affect me- but any bread with tomato sauce seems o be OK

I did not have these effects all my life until about 8 years ago

[Mr. Douglas]

I think I am very blessed. I can eat anything without batting an eye.

You should go to an allergy doctor and get tested. You may have a mild gluten allergy which some doctors will tell you to ignore. If you are allergic to it or some other foods, it is better to avoid them even if they do not make you dangerously ill. The inflammation they cause in the body will age you.

I've tried to apply some logic to it all. I only eat 100% whole grain breads, with a minimum of additives and processing. I have shredded wheat for breakfast, the only pasta is 100% whole wheat. There is a small number of rye and whole grain breads that meet the standard.

Besides avoiding white breads, I avoid anything with added wheat gluten. Everything I read says added gluten is not a problem, but I'm not buying into that. It just might be that added gluten and gluten that's the result of processing is the problem. I'm just guessing here, but following this guideline has worked for me.

Was it 8 years ago you started to believe everything you read in the news?
